parents and students about Debra

A student wrote "She makes
learning fun. She is always calm

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
FROM THE BETHPAGE
WATER DISTRICT
The Bethpage Water District
has commenced chlorination of the
District's water supply due to the
possibility that recent water main
damage or severe weather
conditions may have caused the
introduction of a low level bacteria
into the water supply. Details of the
evidence of bacteria are under
investigation. What, is known to date
is that two of the District's 40
monthly samples have tested
positive for evidence of bacteria.
The bacteria is not e coli, but a
common soil micro organism. In an
attempt to locate the source, District
personnel have continued to take
samples of all District supply

However, in consultation with the
Nassau County Department of
Health, the Water District has
